Railroad Museum, singing the Star Spangled Banner. Accompanying him, the Highline Silver Cornet Band! Then, on with the show!
Be amazed at the trick shooters' keen eyes and accuracy! Sway to the flowing colors of the Colorado Mestizo dancers! Take
cover when the Shootout At The OK Corral commences! Be awed as trick shooters blast objects from the sky, on horseback! Try
to follow the spinning guns of The Pistolier and marvel at his aim, blindfolded! See talented skills with twirling
ropes and feel the crack of bull whips! Experience the beat of the music of the Native American dancers and drummers. Admire
the agility of the Westernaires and their precision maneuvers on horseback! More to come!
